Question

What is the solution to this inequality?

−4x−8>−20

Answer 1

x < 3

Explanation:

−4x − 8 > −20

Add 8 to both sides.

-4x > -12

Divide both sides by -4. Remember that when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign changes.

-4x/(-4) < -12/(-4)

x < 3
